In fact, a well-trained dog is a free dog! Why? Because a trained dog requires fewer restrictions. The more reliable the dog, the more freedom he is given.

Dog Training for Dummies shows dog owners how to select the right training method for their puppy, adult, or senior dog. Whether you want to teach Buddy to sit or master retrieving, this hands-on guide provides training to ensure a mutually respectful relationship with your four-legged family members.

Loved all the useful info, disliked the voice though I’ve heard worse with some of the real voices

Excellent advice

I really enjoyed the narration, useful content and book overall. However, I have one complaint and to me it is a huge one and that is the lack of any tables and or figures that are often referred to and in my opinion necessary to fully understand and be able to actually implement the most important aspects of the book and the training! Without the score sheets or other visual guides some important aspects of the information and book is useless. Very frustrating! And yes I tried finding it elsewhere online and only found pieces of it and don't feel I or any paying consumer should have to do so when purchasing a book and other books I've purchased through Audible for this same topic have always included any tables, figures, or charts that are referenced within the book.

Failure to provide necessary tables/ figures referenced in book!

I don’t have a dog, but listened to this in
anticipation of buying a dog in the near future. This covered the early training and necessities there wonderfully. There is a bit of a strange anti-vaccination/holistic medicine undertone throughout the book; not knowing much about veterinary medicine, I will take those portions with a grain of salt.

Excellent teaching of the basics.

very informative. new terminology for equipment not explained without books photos. I slow so I will listen again.

never know this before

Reasonable advice was mixed with unscientific debunked ideas, like hurting the dog or even a puppy to train it, using adversive methods like shock and choke collars etc. These old-fashioned and dangerous ideas throw doubt on the rest of the book.

Unreliable
